On December 19, I received a devastating phone call regarding my mother, Kimberly Castle. A truly unexpected situation unfolded for our family right before Christmas. Kim suffered a massive stroke, leaving her unable to breathe or function on her own. She spent several days on life support two states away until we ultimately had to make the difficult decision to let her go.

We’re doing our best to navigate through this while trying to find a way to handle all of her wishes respectfully. This is a very difficult time for us as a family, and we could use your help and support right now. We’re planning a cremation and celebration of life to honor my mother, Kim. Anything you have in your heart to give, or sharing the post, will help us greatly. We understand through the holidays that money is tight, and this was such a terrible and unexpected loss for our family.
